1901-S $5 MS65NGC. CAC. The 1901-S is one of the most common dates in
the series, with thousands of examples certified in Mint State.
Indeed, NGC and PCGS have graded about 550 pieces as MS65. A mere
six specimens have been assigned NGC's coveted Star, however, the
present Gem offering being one of the four finest with that
designation (12/09). Peach-gold luster endows both sides and a well
executed strike imparts strong definition to the design features,
save for minor weakness in the first two or three star centers. A
few light surface and rim marks do not detract.(Registry
